The Skinny

The Glorious Dead is the third studio album by English rock band The Heavy. It was released on 20 August 2012 and has been described as a "quirky take on rootsy soul-influenced music." It peaked at #191 on the Billboard 200.

Critical reception

Consequence of Sound wrote that the album "incorporates guitar-driven hard rock, bringing the band closer to the mainstream, which happens to be full of blues nerds just like them."
